i left for work at 8am on friday morning and didn’t get back home until 4am. i’m not sure how that happened, but i do know that i had a great time, especially during the earlier part of the evening, when me and Kicki joined Silverstein and her house mates for an improvised dinner party.

turns out that ilana’s new roommate, Daniel, is the boyfriend of the established choreographer and art director of “Green Bean Dance” in London, Katie Green.
chatting about UK dance companies made me think of some work by DV8 physical theatre that i haven’t seen in years. this led to a lengthy youtube session watching some of the just ridiculously amazing work they’ve produced.

DV8 is such an amazing company that does mind blowing work, but they also do such different work. just take a look at the first and second clip.

“Strange Fish”
“Enter Achilles” (–GOTTA watch the transition from the beginning which is very theatrical to the end which is very physical. and if you’re gonna cheat, watch from around 3 minutes and on.)
